DIE-PRESS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 4, 1920. serial No. aeaiao.

To all toll omz'tmay camera:

Be it known that I. lvimrnmr B. BRONAN- mm, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Montclair, Essex county, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improven cuts in a Die-Press, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates to die presses of the type such as are employed in the press ing of phonograph records. 1

These presses must be closed-under heavy pressure and this heavy pressure, to get the best results, should be applied somewhat gradually. This slow application of power usually results in cutting down the speed and hence the output of the machine.

One of the principal objects of my invention "is to combine in the one machine both the advantages of guick operation and theclosing force.

Other special objects and features of the invention will appear in the course of the following specification.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification I have illustrated the invention embodied in one of its practical and preferred forms, but would have it understood that the same may be modified in various respects without departure from the true spirit and scope of the invention as definedtinthe appended claims.

Figure 1 in said drawings is an end viewv of the press with the parts in the final closed relation, the shaft being shown In section as taken on substantially the plane of 'line 1 1 of Fig. 2.

' Fig. 2 is a view of the front or left-hand side of the press shown in Fig. 1.

Figs. 3 and 4 are yertical sectional views as taken .on substantially the plane of line 3-3 of 2 and showing the press'elements in the partly closed and in the fully" open positions "respectively Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the timing mechanism, taken on substantially the plane of line 5-5 of Fig.,6.

Fig. 6 is a sectipnal view of the same as taken on substantially the plane of line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

In the illustration 10des1gnates the base or bed of the press and 1.1 the movable head or gate coiiperating therewith, the base being 14, which, as indicated more clearly in Fig.

4, may be connected at opposite ends at 15- and 16 with the two press parts so as to form resilient stops limiting the opening movement of the press.

The press illustrated is designed particularly for pressing phonograph records and the same is accordingly provided with cooperating matrix or die members 17 and 18 between which the record is formed.

Special means for heating and cooling these die members is disclosed in the illustration in the form of a steam or heating fluid supply conduit 19 and a water or cooling two-way valve 21 having an operating handle 22 which is actuated by the two spaced sto 23 and 24 carried by the press head, the fluid controlled by said valve passing through the piping 25 and the flexible tubing 26 and 27 to the upper and lower die members respectively.

The arrangement of the valve actuating mechanism is such that on the opening or lowering movement of the press head, the

upper trip 23 will engage the valve handle and rockthe same from the position shown in Fig. 3 to the position shown in Fig. 4,-so as to turn on the flow of steam or heating fluid. Hence, as the press is opened, the heating fluid is automatically admitted to the dies, so that when the press is ready to close the dies are hot and therefore in condition to operate on the material being molded.

fluid conduit 20 which are controlled by a uicldy closing the sure comprises a toggle made up of the two 7 levers 30 and 31 pivoted together at 32, the lower of these levers being pivoted or fulcrumed at 33in the base or frame 34 of the machine and the upper lever 31 being iv.

oted at to the lower end of a link 36 which The shaft rotates in the direction of the,

arrow indicated in Fig.4 from which it will be seen that as the crank pin reaches the upper end of the slot inthe connecting rod 38, the same will be operated as a push rod to swing the upper lever ,36 around. the

center 35 as a fulcrum, the first air of toggle? levers 30, 31 being then under tension and standing in substantially straightened condition. As this movement continues the upper lever 36 snaps over into engagement with a stop 45 (Fig. 3). Themovement described-results in a quick closing action of the press and as the press parts approach the closed position, the cam 43 comes into operation and engages the roll 44. (Fig. 3) to straighten or partially straighten the lower toggle 3031, as indicated in Fig. 1, thereby ezgerting a final powerful closing force. ,1

In the openingof the press the reverse actions take place, the cam first turning away from the toggle pivot so as to release the final squeezing pressure and the rod 38 being operated as a pull link, when the crank pin engages the lower end of the slot therein, to break the upper toggle and bring the parts from the position illustrated in Fig. 1 to the position indicated in Fig. 4.

. The three toggle levers, it will be seen, thus constitute in effect a com ound or double-jointed toggle, one joint 0- which is operated to effect a relatively rapid move-' ment of the press parts and the other joint of which is subsequently operated to effect a slow powerful closing action of the press parts.

Another feature ofthe invention is the provision of timing mechanism for holding mechanism is constructed as follows. I

In F ig.-2 I haveshown a drive shaft made up of two sections 50 and 51 which may be coupled together by a clutch'52, power being applied to one of such shaft sections as by means of the balance wheel indicated at 53. When the machine is in o eration the drive section 50 of the shaft wi operate continuously and the driven section 51 willbe oper- .ated onl when the clutch 52 is in engagement. he driven shaft section 51 carries a pinion 54 in mesh with an internal gear 55 on the cam and crank shaft/12. This gear eriod of cated in Fig. 2, with the press fully closed the cam 58 has forced inward the slide 60 and this through the. bell crank connection described has 0 erated the clutch shifting lever to uncoup e the clutch so that under such conditions the machine is tripped with the cooperating pressparts in closed relation.

Connected with the movable press head is a link which engages at its lower end-the angle arm 66 of a pivotally supported pawl 67 and which'pawl is disposed when thus actuated by themovable press head to engage the teeth of a ratchet wheel 68 rotatably supported on the driving shaft section 50. This ratchet is shown in Figs. 5and 6 as fixed on a sleeve, 69 which is rotatably engaged on the shaft section 50 and rotatably engagedon this sleeve is a second sleeve or bushing 70 carrying gear teeth 71 engaged bypinions 72. Aflixed to or forming'a part of the pinions 72 are the pinions 73 meshing with the gear teeth 74 carried by the ratchet sleeve 69. The pinions 72 and 73 are journaled on studs 75 supported on a disk or hub 76 keyed or otherwise-fixedly secured on thi driving shaft section.

rom the structure thus far described it,

will be apparent that when the press is closed (Fig. 1), the pawl will be thrown into engagement'with the ratchet and the ratchet will be thereby held against rotation while the driving section of the shaft continues to rotate. In such continued rotation of the shaft the pinions 73 will be carried about the ratchet gear 74 and will be rotated thereby. The pinions 72 forming a part of the pinions 73 are thus driven and their motion" is communicated to the gear 71 on the loose sleeve member 70, consequently, when the ratchetis caught by the pawl, the sleeve member 70 will be rotated, but in a direction the reverse of the direction of rotation of the shaft section '50. The relative movements of the shaft 50 andthe sleeve element 70 are-indicated by the reversely pointed arrows in Fig. 5. Also, the gearing describedis referably of the sped reduction type so tii sleeve 7 0 be rotated in the reverse direction, but will be rotated at slower speed than the shaft section 50,

The reversely rotatingsleeve 70 carriesa trip shown in the formof a beveled cam at not only will the connected with the lower arm 85 ofthe bell crank lever 61. Consequently, when the trip cam 80 in the course of its reverse rotation, the cam shoulder 83 the slide rod 894% will be shifted inward and the bell crank 61. will be tripped to release its hold on the clutch shifting lever 62 andwhen this leap pens the clatch spring 86 will again throwthe clutch in engagement, coupling the two shaft sections together and causing the crank shaft to be operated to .trip the toggle and open the ress. By reason 0 the adjustability of the trip I cam 80, the period during which the press is held closed may be varied at will.

Then the parts are tripped as described, to open the press after the elapsed period of time predetermined upon, the timing gearing is restored to its original relation with the stop 93 on the trip gear (Figs. '1 and 5) in engagement with a stop 92 provided on the base of the machine. This restoration is due partly to the friction of the sleeves on the shaft which causes the trip sleeveto rotate withtlie shaft until the stop 93 engages stop 92, but may be assisted and made quicker in operation by the provision of a restoring spring which I have indicated at 90 as connected between the stop 92 on the base and the trip sleeve, the inner end of such coil spring'being shown as connected with the trip sleeve at 91.

This spring, it will be evident, is tensioned by the relative rotation of the ratchet sleeve and trip sleeve when the ratchet is caught by the pawl and exerts such tension, when the pawl releases the ratchet, to rotate the trip sleeve back to its former position with the shoulder 93 in engagement with the stop 92, which stops thus constitute cooperating abutments to fix the initial position of the It will be clear from the description thus far that by the mechanism described the press is brought with a relatively rapid motion to substantially the closed position. a

powerful squeezing pressure is then applied to fully close the press and that the press is then held closed for a predetermined period, after which it .is opened with a relatively quick motion. When this cycle of operations has been completed, the press is stopped by cam 57 and remains open condition until it is again started by some act on the part of the operator. In the machine herem disclosed, the press is started by a foot pedal 100 which is shown in Fig.

' 2 as connected by a link or pull cord 101 with the spring-pressed bell crank lever 61. It will be clear from this view that when said We is depressed the bell crank will be tripped from engagement with the clutch shifting lever 62 and the clutch will betheree by dropped into engagement so as to start l the machin lVhile I have shown timing mechanism which is operated only for the purpose of holding the press closed through a plede terminal period of time. it will be apparent that this mechanism might be duplicated for the purpose of holding the press open and for starting the same after the lapse of predetermined time.
